Sorry for the delay in responding, been a busy time this past couple of weeks.

“Quaker Letters”, hmmm. Do you have any names or more details about this couple? And, to verify, you are talking about the Maryland “Montmorenci”, right?

Included are the circular stairs in their original position in the back hall, exterior and interior shots. As to the multiple houses with the name montmorenci, the name is an old one and I believe it has french origins, I’d be glad to share the pics I have, the original stair built in a circle is much more beautiful that the reworked and expanded eliptical stair in DuPonts Winterthur Museum.

Thank you for that information. Perhaps that description is why Mr DuPont went after and got that staircase and moved it to his Delaware. It has to be modified, but it is still awesome.

Thank you,

Russ
